after thought

How do you say goodbye
to someone who's already gone
?

I mean
we have all these rituals
you see
and yet they say g'bye to the shell
so whats the good in that
?

when really you
find that you lack the farewell part so much
just a small word of closure would suffice..
'you did good..'
'loved you we did..'
'take care now.. be safe..'

I think
the need is to know
that the depart from life was done somehow
with a content smile
saying
yes it's time
thankyou for what i got
what i did
see you across the door..

hey sky..

I donno
just don't believe in stone graveyards
wish it could be
to plant a tree
then you could have a grand living shade to
talk to

Miriam said a week ago
she would prefer to
breath her last
while hugging a tree...

I bet she's climbing one now..

All I need



In my own lil universe
everything I need is in arms reach
the water tube
like a long umbilical cord
suck in some hydration
music cords in ears
and straps around
holding my necessities

I can find it by touch
all I need



Under the shade
of the Weeping Willow
by the old port of Biganos
I know
that I don't need much.
